Ne perdez plus de temps à essayer de me convaincre : je vais voter pour moi.

La Wallonie est devenue une ferme assez particulière.
Dix personnes cultivent le champ. Quarante attendent leur ration.
Et les gérants ont trouvé un modèle formidable : ils ne sont pas rémunérés sur la récolte, mais sur la longueur de la file.
Chaque personne de plus dans la file justifie un budget, un service, un poste, une subvention… et accessoirement un électeur.
Pendant ce temps, on taxe ceux qui cultivent jusqu’à ce que la différence entre travailler et attendre devienne suffisamment faible pour que certains se demandent pourquoi ils continueraient à se fatiguer.
On appelle cela la solidarité.
C’est surtout une magnifique machine à transformer le travail en dépendance.
Le plus amusant, c’est qu’au lieu de chercher pourquoi la file s’allonge, on embauche quelqu’un pour mieux gérer la file.
Puis quelqu’un pour contrôler celui qui gère la file.
Puis quelqu’un pour évaluer le contrôleur.
Et quand les dix cultivateurs commencent à partir, on découvre soudain que la ferme avait oublié un détail : les rations ne poussent pas dans les bureaux.
Le jour où le dernier cultivateur ferme sa grange, il restera toujours des fonctionnaires pour compter les sacs.
Seulement, il n’y aura plus de sacs.
Mais rassurez-vous : ils créeront probablement une commission pour expliquer pourquoi.

Baisser la barre ne fait pas sauter plus haut.
Vivement une nouvelle énergie pour l’instruction publique.

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon!
It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback.
Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

your plan is stupid because you're imposing a lot of concrete decisions into a model that will have more information than you do to make these decisions, which will result in sub-optimal execution. now that you've been enlightened by the obvious, rewrite the fucking plan
The constant decel messaging in Europe is insufferable as an adult, but its effect on kids is worse. As a parent, it's your obligation to counterprogram this nonsense. Show them robots, rockets, and wonders of AI. Show them cathedrals and moon landings. Instill hope in progress.

Bend 2 is here!
It is a new programming language that blocks AI mistakes via *proof checking* - the same technique big AI labs used to solve open math problems, like Navier-Stokes.
It is also very fast, and runs on GPUs.
Watch the video. Link in the comments.
RELEASE DAY
After almost 10 years of hard work, tireless research, and a dive deep into the kernels of computer science, I finally realized a dream: running a high-level language on GPUs. And I'm giving it to the world!
Bend compiles modern programming features, including:
- Lambdas with full closure support
- Unrestricted recursion and loops
- Fast object allocations of all kinds
- Folds, ADTs, continuations and much more
To HVM2, a new runtime capable of spreading that workload across 1000's of cores, in a thread-safe, low-overhead fashion. As a result, we finally have a true high-level language that runs natively on GPUs!
Here's a quick demo:

JENSEN IS A LIAR, HE IS UNDERPROMISING & OVERDELIVERING 🚀🚀🚀 At GTC 2026, Jensen only claimed 3x better perf per watt on Rubin NVL72 versus GB300 NVL72, but our tests SHOW 7x BETTER PERF PER WATT.

We disagree. Time to accelerate.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.

J’ai démissionné de Mistral aujourd’hui.
J’ai passé 3 ans à faire du reinforcement learning sur des modèles comme Codestral et Pixstral.
Mais l'industrie de l'IA est dirigée par des irresponsables qui menacent notre liberté.
J'ai des choses à vous dire.🧵

This is a truly incredible effect. I thought it was an AfterEffects thing in the keynote but nope, of course they can track the hinge opening position precisely and do all the other 3D geometry with relative ease. But it’s just such a killer idea, perfectly executed.
